GQ Global Street Style: Meet the Man Capturing Denmark's Stylish Men

** SJ:** The style in Copenhagen has an easiness and confidence about it. Guys from Copenhagen manage to dress in a very relad way, yet they never look sloppy. You’ll also have a hard time finding more full-sleeve tattoos and long beards on regular dudes working in offices anywhere else in the world. They are everywhere, and nobody cares.

GQ: What are some Copenhagen-based trends you’ve seen men adopt lately?

** SJ:** I see a big shift from the heritage trend—plaids, denim, boots—to a much more athletic way of dressing. Sneakers have been a big part of people’s wardrobes here already, but now long white T-shirts, tight pants under shorts, and sporty jackets are everywhere.

GQ: What is something American men can learn style-wise from men in Denmark?

** SJ:** That taking care of the way you dress is still very manly. That color is your friend. And to always buy shirts and pants that actually fit. It’s so much more flattering than constantly wearing oversized clothes.

GQ: What city do you consider to be the most stylish and why?

** SJ:** I have always loved the style in New York City and in London. I really enjoy seeing people from all walks of life and from all corners of the world, and love to observe what personal style means to them. For the very best in classic men’s style, I always turn to Milan. Men there dress impeccably even in the scorching summer heat. They pull off three piece suits in the middle of the day without looking stiff or trying too hard.

GQ: What is your trick to capturing the perfect street style image?

** SJ**: There are no real tricks, but patience usually pays off. Especially at the big fashion weeks, where there are hundreds of photographers competing for the same shot, it is usually worth it to wait it out around the corner and wait for the frenzy to die down a bit. The pictures get much better that way, and the subjects tend to be much more relad, as well.
